Product short description:

The ST133 is a low-cost two-wire transmitter that isolates and converts a millivolt or thermocouple sensor input to a proportional 4-20mA control signal. Power is received from the output loop current. The transmitter performs signal linearization, cold-junction compensation, and lead-break detection functions.

High-voltage isolation separates the input from the output circuit. Isolation protects from surges, reduces noise, and eliminates ground loop errors. Setup and calibration are fast and easy with a convenient USB connection to your PC and Acromag’s Windows configuration software.

Learn How to Recognize the Need for Isolation Learn how to recognize the need for isolation in this easy to understand white paper. This paper covers the basic aspects of electrical isolation, what it does for you, why you need it, and how we test for it. Common Methods Of Signal Isolation So the real...

Thermocouple Transmitters Monitor Temperatures in Paint Systems This document illustrates using Acromag’s TT330 series to monitor high temperatures in an automotive paint curing oven and transmit to the existing PLC 4-20mA input card/software setup. Defining the Problem The area around an auto manufacturer’s paint curing ovens is at elevated temperatures affecting the performance of locally...

How To Prevent Temperature Measurement Errors It will give you a keen understanding of the three basic laws of thermocouples: Homogeneous materials, Intermediate Metals, and Successive/Intermediate Temperatures. It is helpful in weeding out potential sources of error in a thermocouple measurement system.

The Basics of Temperature Measurement Using Thermocouples Choosing a temperature sensor for an application is not as simple as picking a thermocouple type with a compatible temperature range. You must give consideration to the sensor material type, the application temperature range, the relative sensitivity of the sensor, the limitations of its insulation material, and its...

Description

This compact, industrial-grade isolator provides a high-voltage isolation barrier between a computer and a connected USB device.

The isolation protects equipment from electrical surges and transient voltage spikes. It also eliminates ground loop currents flowing between the PC and peripherals which can cause damage and inaccurate measurements. Additionally, isolation minimizes conducted noise from static discharge, magnetic fields, and radio frequency interference.

Acromag’s USB isolator is very easy to use. The isolator inserts in-line with the USB connection and operates transparently. No special software drivers are required. The unit receives power from the PC’s USB port and isolates that power to the connected device. High noise immunity and low radiated emissions ensure reliable data transfer in sensitive applications.

A number of high-performance features help provide convenient and dependable operation. The green LED indicates that power is being received and blinks if the connected device draws too much current. An internal jumper lets you switch from Full Speed (12 Mbps) to Low Speed (1.5 Mbps) communication. The reset button offers a simple way to reinitialize a connected device without breaking the cable connection. High-retention USB sockets keep cables securely attached under shock and vibration.
